Michelle Bronster, LCSW

Michelle Bronster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She approaches her work with unconditional acceptance and a commitment to do no harm, blending practical strategies with compassionate support to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, grief, and the many life transitions that can feel overwhelming.

Her practice style is adaptive and integrative - she tailors techniques to each person’s needs and may draw from evidence-informed methods such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She also works with concerns including compassion fatigue, parenting and family issues, sleep difficulties, ADHD, and challenges related to aging, caregiving, chronic illness, and end-of-life matters.

Michelle often emphasizes solution-focused strategies and shorter-term interventions when appropriate, and she frequently incorporates grounding and mindfulness exercises and skills-building interventions to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. Her approach is collaborative and client-centered, aiming to help people develop practical coping skills while exploring deeper patterns that influence well-being.
